+    This is a bit of a hack that assumes that:
+    1. the only decoder forward pass being run is the current model
+    2. the decoder forward pass runs all of the MOEs in the order in which they
+       are initialized
+
+    When the above two conditions hold, this option greatly decreases cold start
+    time for MOE models.
+
+    If the above two conditions don't hold, then this option will lead to silent
+    incorrectness. The only condition in which this doesn't hold is speculative
+    decoding, where there is a draft model that may have MOEs in them.
+
+    NB: We're working on a longer-term solution that doesn't need these assumptions.
